If you like small, scrappy players, Ismael Munguia is someone for you to root for. He's played all 3 OF positions for both the DSL and Arizona Giants. He already shows a combination of gap power and speed but the outstanding part of his stat line for me is the superior plate discipline he shows at such a young age, which thinks this may be sustainable at higher levels, unlike, say, Frankie Pegs or Manuel Geraldo. The one big negative his his diminutive size which does not appear to have much room for physical growth. Check out a recent nice profile in Baseball Census linked to the left. Ceiling is probably 4'th OF at MLB level, but a sleeper in the Giants system.

Not sure Munguia's tools are quite up to those 4, but you never know. Love his K/BB profile!
DeleteMost probably not, those guys are the best for their height! I remember when 5'11¾ was tall, 6-anything was a little unusual. I was amused that you called Munguia a "small, scrapy player at 5'10"
